Is college a good investment or just indoctrination?

Is college still worth it? For generations, earning a college degree was seen as one of the surest paths to success. Today, rising tuition costs, growing student debt, and increasing political polarization have led many people to question whether higher education is still fulfilling its mission. In Part 5 of Indoctrination Mills, our panel explores some of the biggest questions facing universities today: • Is college worth the cost of tuition? • Does a degree still provide a meaningful return on investment? • Are universities preparing students for the professional world? • Does college teach critical thinking—or ideological conformity? • What skills are students actually gaining? • Has higher education become too politically one-sided? • How should universities be measured and held accountable? Featuring: • Omar Sultan Haque • Helen Pluckrose • Mary Grabar • Christine Sefein (C.T.A. Podcast) • James Lindsay (New Discourses) • Katie Kernodle • Suzannah Alexander • Arnold Cantu • Ryan Rogers This conversation brings together educators, therapists, researchers, and public intellectuals to examine the state of modern higher education and what the future of college should look like. Whether you're a student, parent, educator, or taxpayer, these questions affect the future of education, employment, and society as a whole.
